THE BOYCoTrED BREWERS.
The Dispatch several days ago published
preamble and set OF resolutions adopted
by the Liquor-Dealers' Protective Associa-
ton Of this city relative to the boycotted
brewers and the knights OF Labor. IL is
difficult to state the exact nature OF
the Knights grievances, as there
are conflicting reports to their
origin. Suffice it to say that all
OF the Philadelphia brewers are bOyco,:ed.
None others are. Of the large number Of
these there are only two or three whose
beer /. sold here. The matter was brought
TO the attention Of the association by COM
munication from a committee representing
the various assemblies Of this city, snd %
them the copy OF the resolution was handed,
to he sent TO such brewing agents as they
saw fit.
An officer Of the association, in CONVERSE
ton with a DtSputch reporter ye.terdiy.
said that he had received information from
one OF the brewing agents 10 the effect that
all differences will be settled by saturday.
The association holds regular meeting
next Tuesday night, when this and other
matters will be considered.
